Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- ½ cup erythritol or your preferred keto sweetener
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: First, heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and ensures easy cleanup.
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, blend together peanut butter, sweetener, egg, vanilla extract, and baking soda until the mixture is smooth.
- Form the Dough: Roll the dough into small balls and use a fork to flatten them, creating a crisscross design. Additionally, sprinkle sea salt on top if desired.
- Bake and Cool: Bake for 10–12 minutes, then allow to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before moving to a rack.
Notes
- If you prefer a firmer cookie, you can chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- For added texture, you can fold in sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
- Be sure to use natural peanut butter that contains no added sugar or oils for the best results.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or frozen for longer storage.
